Abstract

A terminal includes a receiving unit that receives information for scheduling a first resource used for inter-terminal direct communication, information for scheduling a second resource used for a communication with a base station, and data through the second resource, from the base station; and a transmitting unit that transmits data to another terminal using the first resource, wherein the receiving unit receives a first response related to retransmission control corresponding to the transmitted data from the another terminal, wherein the terminal further includes a control unit that determines a third response related to retransmission control based on the first response and a second response related to retransmission control corresponding to the data through the second resource, and wherein the transmitting unit transmits the third response to the base station.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A terminal comprising:
 a receiving unit that receives, from a base station,
 information for scheduling a first resource used for inter-terminal direct communication, 
 information for scheduling a second resource used for a communication with the base station, and 
 data through the second resource; and 
   a transmitting unit that transmits data to another terminal using the first resource,   wherein the receiving unit receives a first response related to retransmission control corresponding to the transmitted data from the another terminal,   wherein the terminal further includes a control unit that determines a third response related to retransmission control based on the first response and a second response related to retransmission control corresponding to the data through the second resource, and   wherein the transmitting unit transmits the third response to the base station.   
     
     
         2 . The terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein a codebook defining a retransmission response applied to the third response and a codebook defining a retransmission response applied to the second response are identical. 
     
     
         3 . The terminal according to  claim 2 , wherein, in a case where the codebook defining the retransmission response applied to the third response is semi-static, a payload size of the codebook defining the retransmission response applied to the third response is determined based on the first resource and the second resource. 
     
     
         4 . The terminal according to  claim 2 , wherein, in a case where the codebook defining the retransmission response applied to the third response is dynamic, a payload size of the codebook defining the retransmission response applied to the third response is determined based on a field included in the information for scheduling the first resource or the information for scheduling a second resource. 
     
     
         5 . The terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein a codebook defining a retransmission response applied to the first response differs from a codebook defining a retransmission response applied to the second response. 
     
     
         6 . A communication method executed by a terminal, the method comprising:
 a receiving procedure of receiving, from a base station,
 information for scheduling a first resource used for inter-terminal direct communication, 
 information for scheduling a second resource used for a communication with the base station, and 
 data through the second resource; and 
   a transmitting procedure of transmitting data to another terminal using the first resource,   wherein the receiving procedure includes receiving a first response related to retransmission control corresponding to the transmitted data from the another terminal,   wherein the method further includes a control procedure of determining a third response related to retransmission control based on the first response and a second response related to retransmission control corresponding to the data through the second resource, and   wherein the transmitting procedure includes transmitting the third response to the base station.
